PROFILE

Takumasa Ono had been working as an artist in Japan, specialising in painting
Japanese nature, until he travelled to Britain as an official artist of
the Association of National Trusts in Japan in 1999. He held his solo exhibition
and Sumi-e workshops as an official programme for JAPAN 2001, a year long
celebration of Japanese culture in the UK, co-ordinated by the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs. Since then he is holding these exhibitions of his artworks
and Sumi-e workshops across the UK every year. More than 5000 people have
participated in his workshops which were held at the museums, primary and
middle school as well as at college in various parts of the UK. Also during
his time in the UK, Takumasa has developed a high regard for how organisations
such as the National Trust and the Cotswolds Conservation Board help to
conserve and enhance the natural landscape.
Part of the proceeds of his exhibition sales are therefore being donated
to these charities.
